Good afternoon, everyone!

Busy. Just when I think I am going to have an opportunity to return full time, I keep getting sucked back in. There's plenty going on here. I've been substitute teaching non-stop. And, since students are nearing the end of the year, they're needing plenty of help and guidance during class. I don't mind, though, they're great students.

Not a whole lot is happening this weekend. Kim and I should be out getting some groceries right about now... but she seems to have taken a nap. As soon as she wakes up, we'll have to get ready and begin our usual Saturday afternoon routine. Hopefully we can stop in at Tinseltown, too. I need a little Christmas!

As for the rest of the weekend, I think I need to do some running. The rain ruined my normal routine this morning, so I will have to do tomorrow's tonight and then today's tomorrow morning... If that makes sense.

Have a great Saturday, everyone!

Hope you get a little extra Christmas cheer in this afternoon! I also hope things slow down a bit sometime soon. Good luck with getting the run in!
 
About to head to a concert with my best friend to celebrate her graduation from grad school after I go to a funeral for a former resident I worked with in my previous retirement community. I will miss her very much, but I am also looking forward to a great evening with my friend, even though it'll be 92 during the concert at an outdoor pavilion! Is it fall yet?!?!

Good morning everyone, Happy Saturday!
I'm heading out soon, I have to make a big food shopping trip. I don't usually go this late but I'm dragging my feet this morning. Hopefully it won't be too crowded. We're expecting scattered showers and maybe a thunderstorm this afternoon. I'll probably just stay in later, I have plenty of chores to do around the house. Hopefully the rain will let up this evening, I planned on grilling steaks for dinner. That's about it for me.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Hope you get all of your shopping done before the showers start. It's a gloomy day here as well. Enjoy your day.

I've got to go shopping after this shift and am absolutely dreading it. I always feel like I'm in the movie Mad Max when I go to the grocery on a Saturday.

lol! Great analogy there.


Not much going on today. Got the grocery shopping done this morning, doing a second load of laundry and running a load in the dishwasher. As soon as the laundry is done, we'll be watching some movies for the rest of the day. On deck: Zootopia, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Hail Ceasar.

Happy Saturday everyone!

I can totally understand that. Don't worry you'll be so busy during the next few weeks that before you know it, it will be time to see each other again. (((((hugs)))) Hope you and Har have a nice evening together.What are you guys planning?

Safe travels you your mum.

Thanks, Sam =]
Sending hugs back to you!

I have been packing some & working on the endless laundry. I think I'll clean up and then take her for a drive. It's too hot for an afternoon walk, so we'll cruise by the house & check the progress. I can't believe the walk through is Wednesday!

Then, we'll probably make some dinner, fold laundry, and watch a movie.

How about you guys?

Thank you, friend!
It's been productive! I need to do some more, but it's time for a break :D

Hope you're having a lovely day!

Happy Saturday, Brent!
Hope you, Kim, and Simon have a nice weekend!
Tinseltown sounds like the perfect stop!
Have a Merry day :D

Sounds good. I like easy Saturday like that.

I can't believe it's Weds either. Best of luck.

We just finished our roast chicken dinner and watched the Wales vs Slovakia match. England kicks off in about 50mins so that is pretty much our evening. I will probably read while we watch the match. I'll zone in and out :D

Enjoy your movie and drive.
